Take your Arduino skills to the next level and build a real musical instrument with the amomii Mini Grand Shield! This shield transforms your Arduino Uno (or compatible board) into a programmable piano, letting you unleash your musical creativity and explore the world of musical electronics. While you're building, you'll also master essential soldering skills, creating a rewarding finished product you can play long after creation.
The Mini Grand Shield is perfect for beginners who are ready to graduate from breadboard projects, offering clear instructions, video tutorials, and online support. But the fun doesn't stop there! Code your own creations or use the included examples to expand the possibilities – turn your Mini Grand into a musical memory game, a sequencer, or even a MIDI keyboard! No musical experience is required – create cool sounds with the onboard buzzer or connect external speakers for a richer experience.
The Mini Grand Shield works great on its own, but for 3D printing enthusiasts, downloadable case designs are available to transform your project into a truly stunning and functional instrument.
